...Reviews. The Sting.
Johnny Hooker and Luther Coleman are `grifters' or confidence tricksters in 1930s Chicago. Unknown to them, however, one of their victims works for a vicious local gangster named Doyle Lonnegan, and when Lonnegan finds out what has happened he has Luther murdered. Hooker is not a violent man by nature and admits that he does not know much about killing, but nevertheless wishes to take revenge for his partner's death. He decides that the best way is to hurt Lonnegan's pride by relieving him of some of his wealth. He joins forces with another con man named Henry Gondorff, and together they come up with an elaborate plan, not only to cheat Lonnegan, but also to do it in such a way that he never realises that he has been cheated. The plot unfolds with great ingenuity; until the final denouement the audience are never quite sure which developments are for real and which are part of the elaborate scheme.
Crime thrillers set during this period are normally associated with the classic `film noir' style, with its dark, brooding, cynical atmosphere. In `The Sting', however, George Roy Hill deliberately sets out to create a very different mood. The style is almost the exact opposite of film noir. The acting is heavily stylised (as is the scenery), and the division of the film into sections with titles such as `The Hook' or `The Line' is reminiscent of the formal division of a stage play into acts and scenes. The film is not in...

...Legalising sting operations
Q. It is time that sting operations carried out by media and others are legalised in India. Express your views.
Ans. From ‘Watergate’ (USA) to Tehelka, to ‘Cash for Questions’ the invisible camera has cut short the political career of many a big-wig politicians and made their real faces visible to the people. No doubt, sting operations carried out by the media (both print and electronic) and others in public interest merit to be legalised so that their findings command due respect and recongnition in the courts as well as in the perception of the people at large. The exposure of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats is the primary responsibility of not only the investigating agencies like the CBI and VB but also of the ever vigilant media, provided the operations are done not to settle personal scores but in the national interest.
Soaked in scams and scandals, the power brokers/wielders, whether politicians or bureaucrats or both, deserve to be thoroughly exposed and this onerous task can be performed only by persons of strong conviction and confidence. Since ‘sting operations’ tend to impinge upon the dubious dealings of powerful persons, they should be undertaken with utmost diligence and dexterity, coupled with objectivity, and not vendatta or vengeance.
Needless to reiterate that ‘sting operations’ not only play a major role in unearthing the nefarious designs and...

HYPERSENSITIVITY AND BEE STINGS 2
The cause of hypersensitivity to bee stings lays in the persons anti-bodies. Bee sting venom contains proteins that affect skin cells and the immune system. This type of reaction is known as a systemic reaction and is an allergic reaction that happens to people who have developed anti-bodies against the insect venom from a previous sting.
What happens in a person with a severe allergic reaction to bee venom who gets stung is they can experience difficulty breathing, wheezing, hives, hoarseness, swelling of the mouth and tongue, rapid pulse, anxiety, dizziness, and a rapid drop in blood pressure, which in some cases can cause unconsciousness and lead to death. Severe allergic reactions such as those listed above, can cause cardiac arrest, and shock within 10 minutes. Therefore it is imperative to seek medical assistance as soon as any of these symptoms appear.
This type of systemic reaction is treated with Epinephrine, which is adrenaline, and sometimes Benadryl, which is an antihistamine, and used for allergies of all kinds. If the person knows they are allergic to bee stings, they should carry an EPI-Pen with them at all times. This is a single dose injection of Epinephrine which should be administered...

The Sting
The mind produces thoughts constantly, even when you do not look at them. When you know what is going on in your mind, you call it “consciousness.” This is your waking state – your consciousness shifts from sensation, from perception to perception, from idea to idea, in endless succession. Then comes “awareness,” the direct insight into the whole of the consciousness, the entirety of the mind. The mind is like a river, flowing constantly in the bed of the body; you identify yourself for a moment with some particular ripple and call it: “my thought.” Awareness is primordial; it is the original state, endless, uncaused, and without change. There can be no consciousness without awareness, but there can be awareness without consciousness, as in deep sleep. Awareness is absolute, consciousness is relative to its content; consciousness is always of something. Consciousness is incomplete and changeful; awareness is total, changeless, calm, silent, and it is the common template of every experience. In each, “Where Have All the Animals Gone? The Lamentable Extinction of Zoos” written by Charles Siebert and “The Extinction of Experience” written by Robert Michael Pyle, both men make us think beyond our consciousness and deepening our awareness of the importance of experiencing nature through direct contact.
The similarity between Charles Siebert and Robert Michael Pyle’s pieces lies within the...

...Sting
"Russians"
Sting wrote his moving, contemplative song "Russians" in the early 1980's. It was included in his award-winning album "Dream of the Blue Turtles" and was released in 1985, at a time when Ronald Reagan was president, and he and his administration viewed Russia as "The Evil Empire." The Cold War between the two superpowers  Russia and the United States  was still intense, and both sides continued to build up their nuclear armaments. Sting's composition compares and contrasts two warring cultures, Russia and the United States, through his lyrics and musical expression. He subtly demonstrates that the two cultures have more in common than they are willing to believe, and if they focus on these shared goals and values, and renounce their stubborn warrior stances, they can achieve a far more peaceful coexistence.
Prior to the composition of this song, Sting had gotten into an angry debate with one of his band members about the nuclear arms race. Sting believed both Russia and the United States should deescalate their build-ups and destroy their nuclear holdings. The band member, Stewart Copeland, whose father was a former CIA employee who had been stationed in Beirut, argued that nuclear weapons were a necessary evil  and both sides needed them for a "checks and balances system."
Sting remained angry about the exchange and chose to further express his sentiments in a...

...Sting of Prejudice
In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee there are many characters whose lives and thoughts about one another are distorted by prejudice and stereotyping. Three of the many characters whose lives were affected by prejudice are Bob Ewell, Tom Robinson and Dolfus Raymond. Bob Ewell's mind is distorted in his view of other races. Tom Robinson is a victim of prejudice and is treated unfairly because of the color of his skin. The third character Dolfus Raymond is not accepted by the community because he is married to a black woman.
These are three very different men whom by choice or circumstance are forever affected by the hatred associated with prejudice and stereotyping.
Bob Ewell is a man who is consumed by hatred, he is very poor and thinks very little of the black people in the community. Bob believes "that all Negroes lie, that all Negroes are basically immoral beings" (17). Prejudice in Maycomb is both racial and socio-economic. "The Cunninghams don't like the Ewells" (226) because they consider them lower class. The "Ewells hate and despise the colored folks." (226) The trial has given Bob Ewell the opportunity to not only persecute a black man but to feel in a very public way that he is superior and more believable to the jury because of his race.
Tom Robinson is unjustly accused of a crime he did not commit. "Tom was a truthful man married with three children" (190). Usually a...

...Comparison & Contrast
Zappa’s “ In Defense of Rock and Roll” and Sting’s “The Mystery and Religion of Music” are honoring music and trying to honor Rock music unparticular. I believe Rock music should be honored just as much as any other types of music, which has woven it self to the fabric of what America is today.
In Stings essay, he tries to explain the root of his love for music, which he attributes to his mother playing the piano when he was a child. Sting would watch and listen to her play for hours on end. Sting truly feels from that time in his life he was truly addicted to music, “Music is an addiction, a religion, and disease.” (4/1) Sting’s overall point in writing this essay was to say that music is our oldest right and that making it whether if you make one dollar or millions it is worth it.
In Frank Zappa’s “In Defense of Rock and Roll”, Frank defends Rock from an A.Bloom who is essentially saying rock is terrible to civilization. Frank says “ In general, anti-rock propositions began when rock n’ roll began, and most of it was racially motivated.”(2/1,2) Frank fights for and disagrees with Blooms claims and sounds a little disgusted by the writings of the man. Zappa defends children’s effect on the music scene and says that we are presented with only highly merchandised things and we should be taking music appreciation class in schools. In the end he attributes the fall of classical music to the rise in...

Bee Sting,
Fall 2014
The Case: It’s a warm Fourth of July and you are walking across the park to your favorite picnic spot. You are allergic to and highly phobic about bee stings. While walking, you hear a buzzing sound to your right. You turn your head and see a large bee hovering over your right shoulder. You reach with your left hand to swat the bee, but just as you make contact, it stings you anyway. You notice that you are sweating and your skin turns red. You realize that your Epi-pen was left in the car, so you panic and begin sprinting back to the car to get it.’
The Assignment: Name and describe all of the anatomic structures and physiological actions involved with this incident including hearing and seeing the bee, turning your head and swatting at the bee. Where did the muscles get the energy for this action? What tissue types and skin layers did the stinger invade? Explain how your body responded to this event.
This is an opportunity to review much of the information presented during this semester. It will give you an opportunity to integrate the multiple systems into a single 60 second physiological episode. This assignment could be seen as a very intense and major (perhaps overwhelming) undertaking, but the outline below should make it more palatable.
